We’re back with another great episode! Join Carla Owen and co-host Dr Gemma Davies as they sit down with Dr Stephanie Modi, Science Manager at Animal Free Research UK, to unpack a topic that affects us all – antibodies.Stephanie explains what antibodies are, how they’re used in medicine, and why most people don’t realise animals are still used to make them – over a million each year in Europe alone. Discover why animal-derived antibodies can actually slow down medical progress, and how new animal-free alternatives are already proving to be faster, more accurate, and more ethical. Plus, find out about the game-changing Recombinant Antibodies and Mimetics Database that’s helping researchers make the switch.Tune in to hear how we can build a future where science is smarter, more reliable – and free from animal suffering.Poll of the Week: Should the government ban animal-derived antibodies now that alternatives are available?Vote now on X, Facebook or Instagram!  Have your say: Call 0208 054 9695 to share your thoughts.  Support the cause: Leave a review on Apple Podcasts & SpotifyThanks for listening!
